Sermons on Praying For Worders:

11 Causes Of Prayerlessness

Contributed by Glynda Lomax on Jul 14, 2018

God cannot answer a prayer we don't pray. Why would we ever stop praying?

The Word of God instructs us to pray without ceasing in 1 thes. 5:17, so we are to pray at all times. Prayer is when we bring our petitions to God. He is our loving father ...read more

"Even So, Come, Lord Jesus.”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 31, 2022

In this message, we would like to take these three verses and look at the prayer John prayed that we seldom pray.

John prayed for the return of the Lord! Illus: When we think of the return of the Lord Jesus, we can not help thinking of the game children often play. This game is “Hide and Seek.” The children choose a place to be a “base” and then one child closes his eyes and counts to one hundred. The ...read more

Prayer For Power, Knowledge And Love Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 28, 2016

Paul prays for the Church, he prays for us, and says God can do more than we ask for or imagine, and he prays for none of the things we may want or expect, nothing even in such categories. He prays we'll have power, knowledge of God and love.

“what Kind Of Praying Must We Do?” - Part One Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jan 13, 2011

Jesus teaches us that our prayers need to be daring.

It has been said the prayer is the greatest secret weapon of the church today. Great, because God promises to answer prayer. Secret, because most Christians do not know how prayer works. Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of His answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

When God Says, "don't Pray For Them!"

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 16, 2021

God holds all mankind to account. All face judgement, and some are judged now. When God judges individuals and even communities, He informs His people, saying, "Don't pray for them!"

What Makes Your Prayer Powerful? (Praying From The New Covenant 2) Series

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on May 6, 2023

What makes the believer’s prayer powerful is not the verboseness of the speech, not the gyration or energy or loudness in our voice, it’s not even the number of scriptures we quote when we pray. Paul says, “for I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation…”

This is a continuation of the Praying From The New Covenant series. In my last message “Praying From Victory” as opposed to praying for victory, I mentioned that praying from victory is praying from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. And this is a perspective issue, it’s a ...read more
